Answer: This complex system of communication developed among the various Indian tribes of America who lived along the banks of moving streams. The medium for transmitting and receiving messages was moving water, and the apparatus for communicating was the hide drum. It took special "schooling" for a brave to understand the intricate language of drum rhythm. The code consisted of slow, medium, and rapid drum beats : and the beats themselves consisted of single, double, triple, and sometimes more beats, interlaced with specific pauses. These coders would wade into a stream a little more than waist deep, splash some water on their drum head and holding their drum 1 4 inch above the water would ad- minister a series of drumbeats which identified their tribe, their location on the river, and an invitation to transmit. The brave would then put his ear to his drum head and listen for pulses coming from many miles up or downstream. These telegraphers could conduct two way communication over great distances. Question: Why are bananas considered to be the "fruit of athletes"? W. H. Answer: Bananas are considered the "mellow yellow treat" for athletes - notably cyclists, triathletes, and runners - because they are rich in potassium, low in fat, and provide energy in the form of sucrose. A yellow banana contains about 9 grams of sucrose. In addition, a banana contains a wealth of vitamins and minerals such as vitamins A, B6, C, B1, B2, and magnesium, zinc,and copper. Bananas have no cholesterol and pound for pound have a higher potassium content than any other fresh fruit, except avocados. Potassium is a mineral which determines the amount of water held in body tissues and plays a key role in the function of muscle cells. Along with sodium and chloride, this mineral makes up what are know as elec- trolytes - the primary constituent of sweat induced by exer- cise.

Aug. 16, 19139 Opinion a page for expression for you and us Attention Michael Wilson by Bob Watson The ridiculous and destructive new federal sales tax pro- posed by our Minister of Finance Michael Wilson indicates a complete lack of knowledge about the Canadian economy. While we agree that the hidden manufacturing sales tax currently in place must be removed to give our exporters a better chance in the world markets, hasn't anyone at Ot- tawa come Lip with the idea of applying the hidden sales tax to domestic sales and exempting foreign shipments? That would solve the reason for the shift in tax. However, even a lowly voter is aware that more taxes are needed to get rid of the national debt - and its tremendous annual interest cost - and we suggest a specific tax on in- come with the resultant money going into the national debt and nowhere else. Canadians are not dumb - we know we must pay the bills which our governments create. However, most of us are awaiting a move by someone such as Finance Minister Wilson, to cut the spending of the federal government on dishing out money to groups all over the land who have their hands out for the many cultural and helpful projects to some people. This is a time for elimination of all grants and a reduction in the number of federal civil servants so we Canadians can catch up with our federal bills. We can't go on forever collecting taxes less than we are spending - any hmeow-ner knows that' So Michael Wilson your answers are simple. Abolish your new tax scheme and put an amendment in the federal sales tax system to allow for exemption from the tax for exports. Then put a new one or two percent income tax on everyone - and the money goes definitely into the past debts accrued over many years. And finally reduce your costs like any responsible private enterpriser would do.

Companies win energy efficiency awards Six Ontario companies were recently presented with Dou- ble E awards for energy efficiency by Ontario Hydro Chair- man and President Robert Franklin. The awards, created by the Canadian Electrical Association. were presented to the companies for excelling in adopting energy efficient technologies. ..Ontano Hydro is in the early stages of the largest, most ambitious program to promote energy efficiency and con- servation ever attempted by a North American utility," said Franklin in his remarks to the wines. "I extend my congratulations to all the developers. ar- chitects and engineers who took part in the design and con- struction of these energy efficient btuldings." The six winners were: Matthews Group Limited for the Novotel Hotel in Mississauga; Marathon Realty for the Atria 11 North office building in North Yost; Ministry of Government Services for the Ottawa courthouse: Rocky Crest Corporation for Rocky Crest Resort on Lake Joseph; Inducon Development for the Westmetro Corporation Cen- tre in Etobicoke; Belmont Construction for the 890-900 Yonge Street condominium. PCB decontaminations on target Ontario Hydra's mobile PCB decontamination unit spent June at the Lennox thermal generating station near Kingston. While there, over 100,000 litres of oil were treated to remove the PCB content. To date, across the province, 487,000 litres of oil containing PCBs have been decon- taminated by the mobile unit's process. This volume is ex- pected to double by year end.

But the city will have to wait several more months before it knows how much it will have to pay the club. The Supreme Court of Ontario last week refused Scarborough's request for leave to appeal a decision by the Ontario Court of Ap- peal which found the city liable for damages. Several years ago, the club sued Scarborough for damage to its watercourse and greens caused over the years as a result of residen- tial development approved by the city upstream from the golf course. The club argued that the city, by approving the sub- division and installing storm sewers, increased the flow of water draining into the watercourse. According to city solicitor Jack Ratchford, the city should not be held at fault because the flooding was caused by storms which are an act of God. Following a trial, Scar- borough was ordered to pay the golf course over $3 million. Scarborough ap- pealed but lost and now has lost its chance to appeal further.

Final Count Still Up In Air by Gay Abbate The Cityof Scarborough has been given permission to appeal a court order to hold a manual recount in two races in last November's civic election. This means a further delay in determining who is really the Ward 4 coun- cillor and the Ward 14 public school trustee. No date has been set yet to hear the appeal although Harry Underwood, the city's solicitor, said he hopes it would be within the next couple of months. On election night, rookie Lorenzo Berardinetti defeated Ward 4 Alderman Kurt Christensen by four votes. A recount using the same optical scanners as on election night changed the margin to two votes. The spread between Trustee Ruth Haehnnel and Jim Makay was one vote. These results were challenged by the losing candidates and the court ordered a manual recount which the city decided to try to appeal. Christensen said he was very disappointed by the court ruling. "It should be resolved as soon as possi- ble. These delays are not fair. They are causing a finacial hardship... He said he wants Mayor Joyce Trimmer and coun- cil to intercede and put a stop to the legal battle and hold a manual recount. But Underwood says the issue in the appeal is the use of automatic counting machines and whether they should be used in recounts when the original count was donne by the same machine. He said this is the first time this issue has been raised in the courts and the final outcome will have great ramifications for municipalities that want to use them. City Clerk John Nigh has said that under the Municipal Elections Act he is required to conduct all recounts in the same man- ner as election night. formed at the Science Cen- tre in 1978 will be held in the auditorium on Sept. 30th at 2 p.m. This enter- taining and humorous pro- gram for all ages examines the scientific process and pokes fun at the stereotypes of science.

[ Business Community News I Environmental Firm Goes To North York One of Canada's oldest and largest environmental consulting engineering firms has moved to North York. Gore & Storrie Limited, a firm that will celebrate its 70th anniver- sary next month, moved its head office to Consumers Rd. from Bayview Ave. in Toronto on Aug. 1. Gore & Storrie Limited began Oct. 1, 1919 as a part- nership between William Gore and William Storrie, both civil engineers, and Dr. George Nasmith, a bacteriologist and public health specialist. At that time the founders agreed to "specialize in all forms of public health engineering, including water works, sewerage, sewage disposal, and bacteriological research." Basing their practice on the environmental field can be seen today as having shown great foresight 70 years ago. Today the firm has grown to a staff of over 375, including scientists, engineers, and laboratory staff. It has designed some of Canada's major drinking and wastewater treatment facilities, including the largest wastewater treat- ment facility in the country and North America's first underground drinking water facility. G&S projects have repeatedly won national engineering awards, and its patented HYAN wastewater treatment pro- cess, which creates energy as well as effectively treating high-strength weastewaters, won a Governor General's Award for engineering. From its early days, Gore & Storrie was a blend of science and engineering. Its founders focused on en- vironmental projects ex- clusively at a time when the general public had little ecological awareness. To- day, when people and politicians are concerned with drinking water quality and pollution, Gore & Stor- rie is well positioned to undertake the scientific and engineering studies necessary to protect and improve the environment.

Metro To Battle - Province Metro Toronto Council debated how to battle the provincial government over its freeze of uncondi- tional grants at its meeting on Aug. 9th. Councillor Howard Moscoe's motion to pay out $10,700 to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario as Metro's contribution to its campaign to com- municate to the public about the provincial cut- back was finally passed. Councillor '.Maureen Prinsloo argued that action at the next provincial elec- tion would be better than just backing the AMO cam- paign. North York Mayor '.Mel Lastman told the meeting that Metro doesn't know bow to fight. Councillor Chris Stockwell said he was against donating the money to the AMO as he was against using tax- payers' money to fight the prov- Catancillor Peter Oyler said that he is agreed in principle with the donation to AMO. He told the council meeting that the province has "told us to take a hike" and isn't that worth spen- ding $10,000 to get the pro- vince he asked. North York Council already has decided to pay $2800 to the AMO on its behalf for the communica- tion program to fight the province. Needs Volunteers The St. Paul's L'Amoreaux Centre for Seniors needs volunteers to help as drivers, friendly visitors and committee members. Anyone who has a few hours free during the day, Monday to Friday, should call Elaine at 493-3333. Wed. Aug. 16, 1989 THE NEWS/POET Page 5 Metro Approves Expo 2000 Metro Council deliberated for over three hours on Wed. Aug. 9th before giving approval to a preliminary entry into the race for a world's fair in the year 2000. Both Hanover, West Ger- many and Venice, Italy are competing for this fair from the Bureau des Inter- national Expositions, and the BIE is scheduled to come to Metro Toronto in September to check this ci- ty out. Metro councillors debated for the three hours because there is no specific financial information or commitment by higher levels of government as yet and most did not want to give financial endorsement until all of the facts are before the council. However, Councillors Brian Ashton and Dennis Flynn have been appointed as directors to the Metropolitan Toronto World's Fair Consortium which has been established by a group of private enter- prise companies. Because Metro Toronto is close to the heaviest population in North America it is considered to be a good site for a major tourist draw and a finan- cial success. The consor- tium feels that a profit of Expo 2000 could be in the range of $s6 million with„ million visitors going up a $147 million profit with 60 million visitors. The success of the pro- ject is based on using the CNE property and upgrading its older buildings. New buildings planned to be constructed include a major trade cen- tre and trade mart and the renovation of the stadium into an amphitheatre as well as a 6000 unit parking garage - The automotive building• coliseum. industry building and marine museum are included in renovations planning. As well the Queen Elizabeth building, horticultural building, arts crafts hobbies building, Ontario Govern- ment building, music building and press building are scheduled for renova- tion for Expo MW Among the benefits to Metro Toronto from the world's fair would be a completely renovated CNE. North York Mayor :Mel Lastman wanted to know at the Executive Committee meeting on Aug. 1st exactly who is going to contribute to the cost of this big year and who will pick up the Metro Toronto Board of Trade Executive Summary Response to The Board's Waste Management Code of Practice The Board received a let- ter from the Metro Direc- tor of Refuse Disposal. which commends The Board for developing a Waste Management Code of Practice. Mr. Ian McKerracher wrote, "This commitment from business is necessary to ensure that we deal with our solid waste in an environmental- ly sound manner." In a June 16, 1969 letter to The Board, Environment Canada's Regional Direc- tor for Ontario, Liz Dowdeswell, also com- mended The Board for developing a Code of Prac- tice. Ms. Dowdeswell stated, -your initiative not only demonstrates the commitment of the business community to responsible management of waste, it also provides a model for other sectors of society' Also from the federal level, Mr. Jesse Flis, %1P 1 Parkdale-High Park) sent a letter stating, "If more organizations adopted similar codes, we would probably all be living in a much healthier climate." At a June 6, 1969 meeting, North York's Environment Committee passed a mo- tion by Councillor Joanne Flint to congratulate The Board on developing this Code. loss, if any. East York Mayor Dave Johnson wanted to know what happens if Metro Toronto Council doesn't en- dorse this project and sug- gested that if that happen- ed the project would be kill- ed for Metro Toronto. Councillor Brian Ashton gave an impassioned speech and criticized any negative attitude at this time. He said it would be great for the Metro area and there was lots of time to opt out if financing from the provincial and federal governments was not for- thcoming. Councillor Norm Gard- ner said he had some reser- vations but felt that with both Europe and Asia more expensive than Metro Toronto this would be the right place to hold the ex- position. However, Mr. Gardiner wants a report on the capital costs and the need for labour. Toronto Mayor Art Eg- gleton said it was exciting but they would have to be cautious but generally he was for the project. Councillor Richard Gilbert also gave strong support for Expo 2000. A delegation from the Bureau International des Expositions will visit Metro in September to look over the bid from Metro Toron- to. Two other cities are competing for the world's fair - Hanover, West Ger- many and Venice, Italy. A decision by the bureau will be made in May 1990. Proposed theme if Metro Toronto gets the world's fair is "The Global City - Reaching for Harmony Between People and En- vironment". Key facilities for the fair would be the CNE and On- tario Place.

He goes to Sydney (Australia. that is) where his formula is stolen by his employer in the patent of- fice who lusts for Bert's sweetheart, Marie Curie (no mention is made of her husband Pierre or of the fact that she was Polish, not French). After confinement in a lunatic asylum he follows Marie - "Mary" - to Paris where he saves the world from atomic destruction in the presence of Charles Darwin and his dog, hilariously labelled Beagle. He then returns to Tasmania where he spon- taneously perfects his most important invention, "roll and rock". Wacky? Yes. An over ex- tended running gag? Yes again. Yet, this Australian pro- duction is quite one of the more refreshing summer movie entries. We suggest that it might just become a cult favourite in the mould of Running, Jumping and Leaping (or whatever it KA LLQ .0% 29M Egunton Ave E . Scarowougf+ gwigrim STEAK 8 SHRIMPS Tao Q"Iry.

Sun WILLOWDALE Free Parking Ticket Information 431- 7170 scenes; Morning Depar- ture was a post war Rank release about a doomed submarine on the ocean bottom and Sphere, as yet not transferred to the scene, concerned itself with alien intelligences in the sea. The Abyss is about a team of oil drillers under the auspices of the United States government attemp- ting to discover the cause of the destruction of a sub- marine now resting on the bottom. Their task is made more difficult by a storm on the surface. And, guess what? They encounter in- telligent alien life. One suspects that if Michael Crichton were not so indebted to the motion picture industry for his wealth, we might soon have beard rumours about a suit for plagiarism. Yes indeed, there is more than just a passing simnilarity between Sphere and The Abyss. Still, our purpose is to review the motion picture which has just opened. WeeeW, it's not bad; it might even be a fair meAer. It is not, however, landmark coops!) enter- tainment. The underwater scenes are undoubtedly spec- tacular but should, we believe, be viewed only on a large screen. We were fortunate enough to attend an advance screening at Cinesphere in Ontario Place and are constrained to proclaim their emotional impact on a viewer, at least a viewer at Cinesphere. The actors are along strictly for the ride; they have little to do but do it well. Ed Harris gives another of his everyman perfor- mances, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio continues to look like Global Television's Thalia Assuaas and that's about it. We're not knocking The Abyss; it's simply that we cannot in conscience offer an encomium. On the matter of corrss- cience, however, there is a line in The Abyss that the pro -choice people would do well to remember. In the motion picture a technique has been developped that allows one to breathe liguid. In giving instructions on its use, the man so doing remarks You breathed liquid for the first nine month of your life. You don't forget."

The fashions are deftute- ly au courant, maybe even avant garde and we're sure that Gridlock will enjoy a good custom and prospen- ty. If we seem reticent in praise, it's simply that the fashions of today have passed us by. We ap- preciate the comfort of cot- ton. for example, but decry the look of it when unpt ess- ed: trousers full at the knee are comfortable no doubt but don't allow the crease to break evenly over the shoe: we prefer dress shoes to be shiny... well, by now you should have the idea. Yet, not all the fashions have passed us by. In the spirit of everything old be- ing new again, we are much taken by the neckties of Versace. We could almost swear that we wore one to our elementary school graduation. Why didn't we save it! Nice to see old friends again at the Global Televi- sion season kickoff held in Sutton Place. The food is always fine, the drinks plenteous and the news of the season interesting. We'll be reporting on some of the highlights from tune to time but wish to alert you now to the even- ing of Sept. 25th. That's when Global will carry a special Saturday Night Live Reunion featuring all of the stars that have been with it since the beginning. One imagines there will even be some scenes featuring the late Gilda Radner and John Belushi. Should be a good show. Global is now beginning its 16th year - yes, it's real- ly been that long - and con- tinues to show class in a medium not always noted for it. Very nice to be dining at Windows of SkyDome overlooking the field while listening to the announce- ment from C. P.1. of the Ultimate Event. That's the appearance on Mon. Oct. 2nd of Frank Sinatra, Lila Minelli and Sammy Davis Jr. at the SkyDoane. The event will be In the Roused in the Sky Tent con- figuration. Tickets are $25, iso and $75 though we shouldn't be surprised if some are scalped for con- siderably oo-siderably more. Two things about The Event struck us as noteworthy. Frank Sinatra's musical director is now his son Frank Jr. who studied orchestration with Nelson Riddle. One of the corporate sponsors is Coca Cola. Well, since he gave up liquor. Sammy Davis drinks only Strawberry Crush! While the presentation is being billed as The Ultimate Event, for many the appellation properly belongs to the Canadian National Exhibition which starts today. Yes, the dear old Lady of the Lake is with us again and again, we look forward to it. Because of advance deadlines one is reluctant to describe anything as a fait accompli. However, as you read this we should have been present last night at the official opening of the Thailand Pavilion with His Excellency Subin Pinkayan of The Kingdom of Thailand.

Queen's Park Report by Christine Hart, MPP York East SENIORS A VITAL CONTRIBUTION TO ONTARIO Since taking office, the Liberal Government has introduc- ed the following initiatives to encourage seniors to par- ticipate fully in Ontario's prosperity: - Assitance to seniors who want to remain in their homes, Including an additional $70 million for Home Care Assistance in 1969-90. - An additional $2 million to support the operation and fun- ding of elderly persons' centres. - An additional $5 million for the improvement of transpor- tation services for seniors and disabled persons. TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES TO FUEL ECONOMIC GROWTH - The government is committing an additional $2 billion over five years to the new "Transportation Capital Pro- gram" which will support highway capital projects, major municipal roads and transit projects, and additional GO service. - An additional $150 million will be allocated to improve municipal transit systems in the Greater Toronto Area. These improvements will include: support for an extension of the Harbourfront Light Rail Transit, improvements to the Yonge-Bloor station to reduce time and congestion pro- blem, support for the construction of the Spadina Subway from Wilson north to Sheppard, improvements to the Shep- pard and Finch corridors, and increased bus service. EMERGENCY HEALTH AND TRAUMA SERVICES Emergency and trauma services in health care facilities across Ontario have been given an additional $18 million. - $9 million of the funding increase is to be allocated for ad- ditions to ambulance services in 26 communities that have experienced increased workloads because of population in- creases. - The remaining $9 million will be used to: implement guidelines to help hospitals improve efficiency in their emergency wards; designate seven new regional trauma networks to coordinate regional hospital beds and services and establish a central provincial critical care hotline which would eliminate the need for doctors to call several hospitals in search of more specialized services.

Always the centre of at- tention, Morris will take his place perched atop his director's chair for three 30 -minute appearances at the 9 -Lives booth on Satur- day and Sunday. The spotlight will shine an centre -stage, as Morris presents the prestigious 9 -Lives Morris Award to the winner of the show's Best Household Pet category. The bronze trophy, made in the likeness of The Finicky One, is awarded to non - pedigreed cats at some 450 local cat shows across North America. And finally. the show will feature a -cat-tle" call for all Morris look-alikes. Show -goers can submit a photo of their tabby twin.

Aug. 16,19" THE NEWS/ POST Page 7 Reporter Races Back On Aug. 27 at 2 p.m. just 48 hours after Voyager 2's closest encounter with Nep- tune, the Ontario Science Centre will present the ex- citing new images from the giant green planet. Bob McDonald, host of CBC's Wonderstruck will just have returned from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California where the signals from Neptune are collected and deciphered. Visitors will see the most comprehensive collection of Neptune photos to be generated during this en- counter as well as highlights of images Voyager 2 has collected Canada's Largest Animal Dies The Metropolitan Toron- to Zoo regretfully an- nounces the death of "Tan - tor", the male elephant. Tantor, a 21 -year old African Bush Elephant, had resided at the zoo since July of 1974. Born in Mozambique, East Africa, Tantor was orphaned at an early age, rescued by government forces, and sent to an animal dealer in Germany. From there, he was purchased for the soon to open Metropolitan Toronto Zoo. During his years at the zoo, Tantor sired four calves including "Thika", the first elephant born in Canda. The exact cause of death will not be known until a complete post mortem and tests are completed at the University of Guelph. It is suspected that the death was a result of compika- tions following surgery to remove a badly abscessed left task. The tusk was removed by a surgical team from the zoo, the University of Guelph, and two elephant dental specialists from Florida, who were brought in to assist in the difficult, but necessary, procedure. The surgery took several hours, and Tantor recovered in an apparently normal man- ner. After approximately four hours, he lay down and died. Tantor was the largest animal in Canada, standing at eleven feet two inches at the shoulder, and weighing 14,300 pounds. The zoo is left with eight female elephants, and will seek a suitable male replacement, so that the breeding pro- gram for these seriously threatened animals can continue. At the Board of Manage- ment meeting held at the zoo Aug. 3rd, Board Chair- man John F. T. Warren passed on thanks to the staff and outside experts for all their efforts. He commented that "the zoo, with over 4000 animals, is like a small town, with bir- ths and deaths occuring daily. but it is always dif- ficult when an animal of such high profile is lost. We must, however, remember that there roust be death if we are to have life, and that Tantor's time with us will not soon be forgotten. Most importantly. for the long term survival of the species his genes are still alive to be carried on in his daughters. ' Maple Leaf Softball Days Children across Canada will experience the sum- mer fun of softball, thanks to Maple Leafs ongoing Softball Days program. Softball Days will visit Variety Village in Toronto on Fri. Aug. 18th. This is the first time in its five-year history that Maple Leaf has put on a clinic exclusively for disabled children. The event takes place from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the softball field behind Variety Village at 3701 Danforth Ave. In case of rain, it will be held inside Variety Village itself. More than 700 elemen- tary school aged children in ten locations across Canada will learn the basic skills of softball this sum- mer. Launched in 1984 by Canada Packers, the Soft- ball Days program in- troduces seven basic soft- ball skills, including bat- ting for distance and pit- ching for speed and ac- curacy, with particular emphasis on cooperation, participation and fun. The program, which is non-competitive, also gives children a genuine sense of achievement. It helps each of them make individual Progress in developing the motor skills they'll use in playing softball and other sports. Softball Days is endorsed by Softball Canada, the Canadian Amateur Softball Association, and is design- ed to give children the op- portunity to learn and en- joy the art. After the morning clinic, participants are treated to a Maple Leaf picnic, com- plete with hotdogs, juice and dessert. Softball Days took to the road on June 23, and wraps up at Variety Village on Aug. 18. Audition Now For Choir The Orpheus Choir of Toronto has just completed a highly successful 25th year. In addition to its own concert series which featured major works from Mendelssohn, Liszt, Palestrina and Zelenka, the choir performed with the TSO, the Canadian Brass and the National Ballet. The coming season starts with the Mozart Requiem (with the Toronto Philhar- monic Orchestra) in November and includes such exciting and diverse offerings as the Magnificat of J.S. Bach, Olsson's Te Deum, Willan's Mystery of Bethlehem, the Rachmaninoff Vespers and Negro Spirtuals. The 89-90 season will also mark the return of the Or- pheus Chamber Choir. Separate auditions for the Chamber Choir will be open to both members of the public and members of the main Orpheus Choir. The Orpheus Chamber Choir will perform a joint concert with the Vancouver Chamber Choir in February as well as Saint Saens' Samson and Delilah with the Opera in Concert chorus in December. If you are an experienced singer in any voice range and feel you could commit to being part of the excite- ment of the choir's 26th season, call 960-3987 to ar- range an audition. during its twelve year journey through the Solar System. Voyager 2 has been sen- ding signals from Neptune, more than 4.5 billion km away, since the beginning of June. On Aug. 24 and 25, the tiny unmanned spacecraft will make its closest pass by the planet, much closer than any of the other planets or moons it has visited. Travelling at the speed of light, these signals take four hours to reach radio telescopes located around Earth. These signals are relayed to the Jet Propul- sion Laboratory where they are entered into a computer which then transforms them into iden- tifiable images. Scientists expect to learn about Neptune's at- mospheric structure, its seemingly incomplete rings and its moons, one of which, Triton, appears to have both an atmosphere and a backwards orbit. Neptune is the final planet that Voyager 2 will en- counter before it is hurled to the outer reaches of our Solar System and beyond. On Aug. 25. the historical eve that Voyager 2 makes its closest fly -by Neptune. the Ontario Science Centre will be having a Stargazing and Ptanetpzing .Night. Travel with Science Cen- tre astronomers away from the lights of the city. Join in an outdoor twilight talk and skywatch through telescopes. Neptune will be visible as well as Uranus and Saturn. Observing should be especially spec- tacular because the moon will be below the horizon allowing for a darker night sky and greater visibility. Spaces for this program are limited. Call 429-4100 ext. 269 to register. Cost is $10 for adults and $9 for youths, seniors, members and children. Price in- cludes transportation and refreshments. There will be an alter- native indoor program if it is cloudy.

Am sulimesi ions' Dear Hassled Host: Even though you don't feel like roping out a welcome mat, it's impor- tant to get to know the weeds that are setting up house in your lawn. You can't get them to pack their bags and leave unless you know the right way to get rid of them. Hinting around won't work, but the proper control can do wonders. Narrowleaf weeds, like crab- grass, can be prevented by wing a preemcrgence control that stops the sett!% from gcrminat- ing. If you don't control grassy weeds before germination, you won't have another chance until next year. Eliminate broadleaf weeds, like dandelions, with a postemergence herbicide when the weeds are actively growing. For more information on chemi- cal control, contact your local garden centre. Dear John: We don't get much rainfall where 1 Five, and my veg- etables are thirsty. 16 there any- thing 1 can do' Dear Dew Drop: Them are a number of ways to conserve water during limited rainfall. First of all. plant cool season veg- etables like lettuce, beets, cab- bage. cauliflower. broccoli. peas, spinach and onions as early in the spring as possible, since that's when soil has the most moisture. Also, plant wide rows and use a mulch (dried grass clippings, wood chips or bark) to trap mois- ture. Plant vegetables so they're blocked from heavy winds, since strong breezes will steal moisture from your garden. Also, water early in the morning so water dovm't evaporate in the hot after- noon sun. And don't fertilize at all during a dry spell, because chemicals absorb a great deal of water. Finally, keep your garden as weed -tree as possible. since $2.15 Million In Grants Awarded To Improve Access Rano Mancini, Minister Responsible for Disabled Persons and Mavis Wilson, Ontario Minister for Senior Citizens' Affairs recently announced Access Fund grants of x2.15•millm to non-profit organizations across the province. light - one community facilities received grants to improve access for persons with disabilities and senior citizens in Ontario. Among those receiving grants in this area were seven getups. Scarborough The Scarborough Union Loca1303 of Canadian Auto Workers Retiree Chapter received $3,160 to install a chairlift to make their facilities accessible for senior citizens and persons with disabilities from the community. Christ Church Anglican revived $50,000 to install an elevator and enclosure, ramp the sidewalk and .renovate a washroom. Toronto The Unity Church of Truth in Toronto received $50,000 to install an elevator, automatic door opener, renovate the en- trance and make a washroom accessible, making their meeting facilities available to all the community. Stone Church Pentecostal Assembly received $18,700 to install an elevator, allowing senior citizens and persons with disabilities access to its facilities. Beth Tzedec Congrega- tion received $50,000 to in- stall an elevator to make its facilities more accessi- ble to all the community. Our Lady of Sorrow Church received $37,133 to install an elevator, make sidewalk renovations and make a washroom accessi- ble, allowing senior citizens and persons with disabilities to use the facilities. The All Saints' Church, Kingsway received $44,850 to install an elevator, renovate washrooms and install grade level entrance to the facility for better ac- cessibility. weeds compete with plant,, for available water. These tipN tOr conserving water in areas with limited rainfall are also helpful during a drought. Keep in mind. however, that all vegetables need water during the flowering stage to yield maximum crops. Dear John: How should I store my mower safely' Dear Safekeeper. To store a mower safely after each crowing, wait until the engine is cool before putting it in a garage or other enclosed arta. Don't nun an engine in an enclosed area — carbon monoxide gas is a byproduct of combustion. Leave smoking materials in the house when refueling or empty- ing the gas tank. so you don't absent-mindedly light up. And clean up any fuel spills in the garage or on the driveway imme- diately. Scrape or wash off grass clippings from the bottom of the mower deck and engine fins before they harden, making the engine less efficient. Also, check the oil and sharpen the mower blade after every 25 hours of use. Finally, store fuel in a safcty- approved container in a cool, dry place — away from children.

Council Yields To Public Pressure Over Animal Centre by Gay Abbate Scarborough Council has given in to public pressure and agreed to look at other locations for its new animal centre other than parks. Council was eyeing either Thomson Park near the tennis courts or L'Amoreaux Park for the new animal centre. That is until the two communities involved raised a fuss. After about ten hours of debate spread over two days, council, at its last meeting before the sum- mer break, agreed to take another look at other possi- ble sites. Senior staff was directed to consider all city -owned land over 45,000 sq. ft. excluding parks. Two sites which will be reviewed carefully are a recently acquired property on Bellamy Rd. near Pro- gress Ave. and the Ellesmere Works Yard. Council is considering selling the Ellesmere site if it does not put its new $80 million aquatic' centre there. The site is about 25 acres and only 1.5 acres are needed for the animal cen- tre. Some councillors are leaning towards this site because the animal centre is located next door to it now. The centre is on Midland next to the RT sta- tion. The centre has to move because the present quarters are small, the building needs major struc- tural repairs and the pro - travel Wild Life Galore On Florida's Lee Island Coast Bird watching has turned into one of the most popular American pastimes and nowhere can it be enjoyed more fully than on Florida's Lee Island Coast. Southwest Florida offers more than one million acres of nature sanc- tuaries, most of which have paths or boardwalks that allow visitors to explore and enjoy them. These refuges boast unspoiled land where one can ex- perience the beauty of the state in its virgin condition while enjoying an abun- dance of wildlife in its native setting. A prime example of such areas are the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, the Sanibel - Captiva Nature Conserva- tion Foundation, the Lee County Nature Center, Carl E. Johnson Park at Lover's Key, Matanzas Pass Wilderness Preserve, Mound Key and Cayo Costa State Island Preserve. The "Ding" Darling Refuge, teamed for IM Pulitzer Prize-winning car- toonist and pioneer en- vironmentalist Jay Nor- wood Darling, is a 4,900 -acre tract on the north side of Sanibel Island. The refuge features delightful walkways, win- ding canoe trails and a five mile scenic drive, all of which are lush with seagrape, wax and salt myrtles, red mangrove, cabbage palms and other native plant varieties. A booklet, available from the interpretative centre, highlights points of interest and observation towers, where naturalists will get their best view of a variety of fauna and flora.

Fri 10 a m- s p m SMurdays Trail. A one and one half mile waterway named after an early homesteader. For those en- joying solitude and a healthy pace, a guided tour with naturalist Bird Westphal proprietor of Canoe Adventures, is a must. During a stimulating walk canoe trip or drive, visitors may see one of many endangered or threatened species, some of which are relatively coasmon here. Shy white pelicans, roseate spoonbill ( often mistaken for flamingos), manatee, wood stork, bald eagles, the American peregrine falcon, osprey, herons, the American alligator and the Atlantic loggerhead turtle have been sited with frequency. The refuge is open from sunup to sundown and there is a $3 charge to drive through a $1 fee to bike or walk through. Further in- formation can be obtained from the refuge manager at (813) 472-1100. Located near the Darling Refuge is the Sanibel - Captiva Nature Conserva- tion Foundation, which features a nature centre, native plant nursery, gift shop and several nature trails. More information can be obtained by calling the foundation at (813) 472-2329. The Lee County Nature Center, located on Ortiz Blvd., east of Fort Myers, maintains a native aviary, short boardwalk through a natural swamp and several exhibits in a central building. Their planetarium open- ed in 1996 and offers day and evening presentations, lectures and special pro- grams. For a complete list of programs and exhibits, call (813) 332-2206. One of the area's most charming and distinctive parks is Carl E. Johnson Park at Lover's Key on Black Island, just south of Fort Myers Beach. A delightful tractor -driven tram transports visitors vine has been putting pressure to clean up the crematorium emissions. Council is considering not building a new crematorium but contrac- ting out the disposal of dead animals. Resident John Stapley told council that it was us- ing so much of the L'Amoreaux parkland for uses other than a park that soon there will be no parkland left. "No more," he said. Doreen Howe of Don - wood Community Associa- tion said the centre belongs in an industrial area, not in a park and definitely not in Thomson Park which Ski Resort Finally A Reality The much talked about and long awaited Lakeridge Ski Resort is finally a reality. For this season Dec..89 will mark the grand opening of the first new ski resort to be built in Ontario in 18 yrs. Lakeridge is located just off Lakeridge road ( Durham 23) 19 km north of Hwy 2 in Ajax. Its proximi- ty to Toronto and area (25 min. from Metro Toronto), should make Lakendge the obvious choice for those looking for great skiing that much closer to home. Lakeridge will be servic- ed by two quad chairs at present being installed by B.M. Lifts of Barrie, while Berkim Construction of Toronto is handling the job of building the first phase of the 29,000 sq. ft. chalet. Lakeridge will be cater- ing to all level of skiers from beginner through ad- vanced cruiser and mogul skier, and hills with pitches in excess of 23 degrees ( steep stuff) and acres of moderate terrain. The snowboarders will also be addressed at Lakeridge but in limited numbers and with a critical eye to care and control. along a rustic boardwalk, crossing picturesque Oyster Bay and a scenario of mangrove isles, to one of the most private public beaches anywhere. Lovers Key is fraught with romantic possibilities and claims a section of unspoiled beach where one can cast a surf line, picnic with raccoons, explore and search the shoreline for seashells. The park also has a pavilion, concessions stand and canoe rentals. Admis- sion, including the tram ride, is $1.50 for adults and 75c for kids.

Queen's Park Report from Norah Stoner MPP Durham West Report Estimates Large Potential For Energy Savings A consultants' report to the Ministry of Energy estimates that energy conservation and efficiency measures can reduce Ontario's demand for new electricity supplies by up to 6,600 megawatts by the end of the century. That amount equals the energy consumption of about half a million elec- trically heated homes for one year. The report, called "Electricity Conservation and Acid Rain in Ontario," was prepared by Marbek Resource Con- sultants Ltd. and Tome, Smith & Associates. The report also concludes that electricity conservation and efficiency can reduce acid gas emissions, which produce acid rain, from power plants at lower cost than smokestack scrub- bers. In the report, a 6,600 megawatt reduction in demand is termed a "technical potential" which assumes that all possible conservation measures are implemented, regardless of cost, and that market penetration of these measures is 100 per cent. Commenting. Energy Minister Bob Wong said he was en- couraged by the findings of the report. "Using our energy resources more wisely will have benefits for our economy; and, as this report shows, it will also play a key role in pro- tecting our environment." The report estimates that of the total conservation potential, 49 per cent is in the commer- cial sector and 34 per cent in the residential sector. The re- maining 17 per cent is in the industrial sector. Hydro's estimate of technical potential is 6,000 megawatts by the year 2000. Hydro's target for conserva- tion - and the amount which it believes is achievable - is 3,500 megawatts by the year WW. "I believe that energy ef- ficiency and conservation must receive top priority in our pians to meet future energy demands." said Mr. Wong. You can pick up a copy of the report at my constituency office.
